A Brief Introduction to Damage in zOMG!

This equation functions whether you're stronger or weaker than the enemy ^^

It also works for calculating how much the enemy does to you, just reverse where the Player C.L and the Enemy C.L. goes :3

As for the guide, I've already got it linking to here, that's probably about as far as it'll go though. I plan to make a series of Mini-Guides which will all be linked to from the Main Guide.

Oh hay that's good to know. 3nodding

But you're going to have to walk me through on this one as math is not my strong suit.

Let's take the classic example of a 4.5 walking on to GB and then encounters a 6.6 golem, and since we know that they should at least have a GGG lets use that as the ring they are using.

Damage = (1 + [ YourCL - TargetCL ] / 2) * (Ring's Damage)

D = (1 + [4.5 - 6.6] /2) * (70)
D = (1 + [-2.1] /2) * (70)
D = (1 + [-1.05]) * (70)
D = (-.05) * (70)
D = -3.5?

I think you can see where I'm having trouble. >.<

wait what about critical hits, (is that just on the high range of the scale)
*feels slow after looking at the math* x-X

By my understanding, a Crit will simply take the damage coming out of that equation and apply a multiplier ranging somewhere between x2 and x3. There seems to be no link between Crits and the source of the Crit. The ring or Animated, that is.

Hope this helps. And doesn't drives you mad. With power. >.>

Criticals, I'll confess I don't understand xd

EDIT: There you go, gataka to the rescue.

@Solar: I'm just going to test, but I think that'd round up to 1 >.<;; There are perhaps a few end conditions which haven't been mentioned.

Yeah, good catch. Anything that goes less than 1 becomes 1 it appears.

Mmmm... if the difference between attacker and target is greater than 2.0 CL let me re-phrase this if the attacker is 2.0 CL or more below the Target, you get 1 damage. When the shift equation results in a negative or 0, in Mathy words, if I recall properly.

I can't wait to see these. I found this exceptionally easy to understand (and I pretty much failed algebra when I took it two years ago. Although, I feel that it was the teacher's fault because I haven't gotten below an A all year in geometry and there is algebra stuff in here too. /sidetrack)

I like it! I shall spread it to my friends and be like "Meh, you can't kill too many of these on your own because you'll only be doing about this much on average as seen on THIS mini guide..."

The next mini-guide will probably be on the Hate System, though there's a lot of testing to do before I understand that.

From what I've gleamed, even the devs are a little confused on how it works xd

[gataka]

._O Interesting.

By hate, you mean like attracting Animated to you like Taunt does?

[EmperorZensekai]

Now that my brain is functional I'd say this is the coolest thing you've decyphered xDD

Correct.

[EmperorZensekai]

wish does something similar right?

[Valheita]

Heavy Water Balloon also has a hate effect.

But then, all healing/attacking/buffing builds hate.

[EmperorZensekai]

so basically every ring builds hate?

[Valheita]

Yes, that's partially why Taunt is so worthless xd

[EmperorZensekai]

lol I never use taunt, ever rofl
